Pug, I had a recurrence of a skin cancer (basal cell) on my chin, which had to be removed by a plastic surgeon. He did a great job -- the incision (when it's healed) will match a curve on the other side -- very clever.

good morning
3:13 am
rubyfoo
are you up early or very late?
3:14 am
rbud
was asleep, now up again, it's just after 3 AM here.
3:16 am
rubyfoo
try making bingo words in your head, it is so boring that it always works for me
3:16 am
rbud
getting fussed about not being able to monkey the J for nbt, lol
3:17 am
rubyfoo
it's a vegetable, I think
3:17 am
rubyfoo
and it's only my 7th word! got the others (animal ones) from the chog
3:17 am
rubyfoo
green and lumpy
3:17 am
rbud
aha! thank you, that worked. I haven't been at this long, just about a half hour.
3:18 am
rbud
this one makes me want to try lots of Spanish words, lol.
3:19 am
rubyfoo
I need aN HOUR TO MYSELF IN THIS CIRCUS OF A HOUSEHOld
3:19 am
rubyfoo
sorry for the caps, big pinky at fault
3:20 am
rbud
I hear that! (the circus part) - it's like that here, too. Dau just went to get son, he's a pain. Needed a ride. Yes, at 3 AM. sigh.
3:20 am
rubyfoo
no wonder you're up!
3:21 am
rbud
ah, they're back, one less worry.
3:21 am
rbud
he treats us like his personal taxi service.
3:22 am
rubyfoo
that sounds charming!
3:22 am
rubyfoo
what is he doing out that late?
3:22 am
rubyfoo
studying? lol
3:23 am
rubyfoo
this is very disorganized; I'm doing any old word as I see it, not any order at all
3:24 am
rbud
no, haha, I wish. he's just a night owl with a lot of night owl friends. and easily bored.
3:25 am
rubyfoo
that would drive me crazy!
3:25 am
rbud
he'll be 21 in June, not much I care to try to tell him, forget any kind of discipline at this point.
3:25 am
rbud
already have that one, lol
3:25 am
rubyfoo
whoops, is there coffee in the PB?
3:26 am
rbud
oooh, maybe coffee would be good - or tea - or maybe hot cocoa, it's kinda cold here.
3:26 am
rubyfoo
hot milk? ice cream?
3:27 am
rbud
hmmm.... have some french vanilla ice cream, yum! and a brownie I could put it on. if the kids didn't get the last one.
3:27 am
rubyfoo
that sounds like a perfect wakefulness cure!
3:28 am
rbud
son has a 10-day stretch in jail coming up soon, looking forward to the peace and quiet. Then after that he's done, till the next dumb thing he does.
3:29 am
rubyfoo
I guess he's getting some partying out of his system first
3:29 am
rbud
I think that's most of it. he figures he's due some fun first.
3:30 am
rbud
just glad dau's BF is the quiet type. he's never a problem like our son. very mellow.
3:31 am
rubyfoo
I've always been lucky; my son was a mellow baby and continued to be mellow (sometimes too mellow, if you get my drift), through his teens. Now he is very stressed with his work, but he's 48, so it's not my problem (just my worry), now
3:34 am
rbud
The boyfriend is a fair amount older than our daughter, but that doesn't seem to bother them. She's 24, he's 34 or so, but they get along great. He's got a job, yay.
3:35 am
rubyfoo
job is good! 10 yrs doable, but not more (2 times, too big a difference)
3:38 am
rubyfoo
phantom: potlatch
3:39 am
rbud
they're both similar in their viewpoints and such, and not the brightest couple around (love her, but it's true.) seems to work for them.
3:40 am
rubyfoo
that is fortunate that they've found each other
3:40 am
rubyfoo
I've married two who were "the smartest men in the world", NOT!!
3:40 am
rbud
she still squeals like a little kid about baby animals, and can't make change, or tell time worth a darn, sigh...
3:40 am
rubyfoo
wouldn't pour the water out of a wet shoe
3:41 am
rubyfoo
she sounds like a sweetie
3:41 am
rubyfoo
and Miss Genius over here, keeps putting words in the chog!!!! duh
3:41 am
Kazzer99
morning all - lovely day here today
3:41 am
rbud
she is, but she acts like a much younger girl. Our son, on the other hand, very smart, but doesn't put it to any good use.
3:41 am
rubyfoo
pls don't tell on me
3:42 am
rubyfoo
hiya kazzer
3:42 am
rbud
I had that one, too, no worries! :)
3:42 am
Kazzer99
but she does drive rbud - i can't do that
3:42 am
rubyfoo
that's good news -- we'[ve had rain, rain, rain, but if you have sunshine, we'll have it in 2 or 3 days
3:43 am
Kazzer99
we have had some large hail showers over the last few days (large for us - nothing ilk the monsters some parts of the states gets)
3:44 am
rubyfoo
we've also had hail, but tiny pieces, so no damage
3:44 am
rubyfoo
the big ones sqush everything
3:44 am
rbud
ah, the dogs have finally quit barking, they were wound up over the train going through.
3:44 am
rubyfoo
my puppy stands and barks in Ruby's face and she just whines
3:45 am
Kazzer99
its was funny in a way - they chap who gave me a lift part way home yesterday has a new car and winced every time a hail stone hit it
3:45 am
rbud
haha, what do you think that's all about?
3:45 am
rubyfoo
that's funny, kaz
3:45 am
rbud
oh dear, don't blame him, a new car? I'd be looking for a carport to wait it out.
3:45 am
Kazzer99
he obvious doesn't like the noise
3:46 am
rubyfoo
it's like going into the ocean, after the first dent, the rest are less painful
3:46 am
rbud
a car wash bay, or something to pull under.
3:46 am
rubyfoo
I can't stand fussbudget men!
3:47 am
Kazzer99
no - he was reasonably laid back about it though but its unusual to get such large stones but it was a fantastic sky
3:47 am
rubyfoo
what color sky?
3:47 am
rubyfoo
he probably cried when he got home....lol
3:47 am
rbud
when I was in college, we all used to put on construction hard hats and go out in the hail and stand around.
3:48 am
Kazzer99
almost pale pink and green in places - fantastic. tuesday we had fantastic mammatus under the cu nims
3:48 am
rubyfoo
majoring in party!!
3:48 am
rubyfoo
when I lived in the Midwest, a green sky often predicted tornadoes
3:48 am
Kazzer99
we used to wander around in thunder storms with umbrellas!
3:49 am
rubyfoo
do you get brilliant sunsets, kaz?
3:49 am
rubyfoo
ours are rather bland
3:49 am
rbud
yes, there's a nasty green-brown color that goes with tornadoes, it's true.
3:49 am
Kazzer99
I have only seen one tornado in this country though they are very common here just not that powerful
3:49 am
rubyfoo
isn't umbrella/thunderstorm a good way to get lightning-struck?
3:50 am
rbud
HA! got the last brownie! yay!
3:50 am
rubyfoo
I've seen water-spouts off Florida, but only tornado warnings
3:50 am
rubyfoo
yay for rbud!
3:50 am
Kazzer99
thats a difficult one ruby as we live on the east side of a hill so at home we don't really see them but if we go up to the top of the hill it can be fantastic. I used to be a weather observer and only once i have seen the green flash
3:51 am
Kazzer99
wtg rbud
3:51 am
rubyfoo
oh boy, never seen that
3:51 am
Kazzer99
just 11 left for me
3:51 am
rubyfoo
the two dogs just came crashing into the studio!
3:52 am
rubyfoo
they're both wet and stinky!
3:52 am
rubyfoo
and muddy
3:52 am
Kazzer99
are they getting on well? and though this might be painful have you had any news about your other boy
3:53 am
rbud
nothing friendlier than a wet dog, lol
3:53 am
Kazzer99
specially when they are chunky and big and want a cuddle
3:54 am
Kazzer99
I am loving my volunteer walking at the moment - they have a batch of puppies - stuffy mastiff crosses
3:54 am
rubyfoo
oh, you didn't hear; after two weeks, the handyman found Max at the bottom of our fishpond! We buried him quietly next to the two other graves and I didn't tell my husband
3:54 am
rubyfoo
Ruby is still annoyed by the puppy, but he is brilliant and they'll work it out
3:54 am
rubyfoo
how big are the mastiffs?
3:55 am
Kazzer99
oh I am sorry Ruby - at least you have closure with this
3:55 am
rubyfoo
and I talked with my son and husband's daughter, and we all agreed there was no point in telling him
3:55 am
rubyfoo
and the new pup is making him smile again
3:55 am
rbud
are you still trying to convince the puppy not to go near the pond? I worry about him, as you said he drinks from it too.
3:56 am
Kazzer99
well 4 weeks ago the biggest boy at 8 weeks was about a foot to 15 inches long - 2 weeks ago he had doubled in size - soif he is still there on sunday he could be ginormous
3:56 am
rubyfoo
you can never replace a dead pet, but there is room in your heart to love a new one
3:56 am
rubyfoo
Rufie has gained about 2 kg in a month!
3:57 am
rubyfoo
when I tried to discourage him from drinking from the pond, he just re-doubled his efforts
3:57 am
rbud
that figures! :P
3:57 am
rubyfoo
and Max drank from the pond for years before this happened.....
3:57 am
Kazzer99
cor blimey he's growing well - I really want a dog but no chance at the mo so I will walk ones other people don't want
3:57 am
rubyfoo
I'm just praying a lot and making promises.....
3:58 am
rbud
maybe Max had some sort of heart attack or something, and fell in. not just a slip in balance.
3:58 am
rubyfoo
I love the way mastiffs look
3:58 am
rubyfoo
I hope that's what happened
3:59 am
rubyfoo
it's hard to imagine how he fell in since he would go to his full height to drink and get his front paws over the (high) rocky rim
4:00 am
rubyfoo
what's funny about the puppy is that his color is changing by the day
4:00 am
rubyfoo
good bye, ladies, now I have to make a Campari for himself!
4:00 am
rbud
hmm, after a fish? or maybe a bird or duck or something in the water. we'll never know.
4:01 am
rubyfoo
50 words and lovely to see you both!!!
4:01 am
Kazzer99
I have added Fernes url to my profile - there is a page for adopting animals and you can see the doggies that are available
4:01 am
rbud
later then, ruby! (((hugs)))
4:01 am
rubyfoo
but it's better than having been hit by a car and dying in somebody else's garden
4:01 am
Kazzer99
by e Ruby - have a good rest of the day. off to docs soon myself.
4:01 am
rubyfoo
I'm afraid to look, kaz, lol!
4:02 am
Kazzer99
bye rbud - i am off as well but will be back later
4:02 am
rbud
oh, wow, sheep and horses, too!
4:02 am

grannyrose
had a b.... of a day at work. at one stage had 3 children in recovery ( one of which was trying to climb out of his trolley) and 2 urology patients, one whose BP was 49. and 3 staff to deal with said patients....i'm absolutely knackered
6:02 am
NonoNanette
oh my, that was a gruelling day!
6:03 am
grannyrose
lol, nanette, and the more we "cope" with the situation, the less staff we get. go figure!!!!
6:04 am
NonoNanette
I could never understand why they make nurses work 10 or 12 hour shifts. It is such a trying job and you really need to be at your very best
6:05 am
grannyrose
all good outcomes, except for the person whose BP was so low....he had a bleeder ( arterial ) in his bladder, went back to theatre tonight. bleeder cauterised, all good when i finally got to come home. *sigh* would sopmeone please tell me why i do this job?
6:06 am
rubyfoo
because you are a saint, rose!!!
6:06 am
grannyrose
nanette, 10 - 12 hour shifts gives better continuum of care for patients...and as nurses that is what we strive for.
6:06 am
NonoNanette
God bless you Rose
6:06 am
rubyfoo
and those are weird words in the grid, ty molly and rose for your help in finding them
6:06 am

everybody keeps telling me to get an Apple laptop but I love my old clunker.....
6:09 am
rubyfoo
what color is that one?
6:10 am
grannyrose
it's a pale p[ink tea rose, the perfume is heavenly. i have one near my clothes line. sheets come in, smelling heavenly
6:10 am
NonoNanette
I don't think I could adjust to an Apple, the operating system is so different
6:10 am
rubyfoo
that is lovely. Now I have to look up tea roses to see if I have any
6:11 am
NonoNanette
A friend of mine got one last year and ended up taking it back because he couldn't adjust to it
6:11 am
rubyfoo
most of my roses don't have any scent at all
6:11 am
grannyrose
rub, usually they are quite a small rose, in clusters
6:11 am
rubyfoo
they (son and DIL) keep telling me I'll have no more problems.....
6:12 am
grannyrose
ummm, that would be * ruby *
6:13 am
rubyfoo
it has been raining for a couple of days, so hedge guys haven't finished, but they're on the way to pick up the huge piles of cuttings from the half-finished job
6:13 am

6:13 am
rubyfoo

6:13 am
rubyfoo

6:14 am
rubyfoo

6:15 am
rubyfoo

7:00 am
grannyrose
yup, nanette, it sure beats codeine, morphine, pethidine, and any other 'dines
7:01 am
grannyrose

7:08 am
Trifioso
the whole trip is 37 hours, nono
7:08 am
NonoNanette
she must have a layover somewhere?
7:08 am
grannyrose
love and hugs to all, see you at the flip
7:08 am
Trifioso
yes, seven hours in sydney, then another four in dalas
7:08 am
NonoNanette

7:09 am
NonoNanette

* poof *
7:10 am
NonoNanette
you deserve it rose! :)
7:10 am
Trifioso
blessed sleep, granny
7:10 am
lynxxx
I imagine there are no direct flights to the US from Perth so will be changing in Sydney
7:11 am
kje
7 hours... ugh...that is a long layover
7:11 am
kje
although, it is long enough that she can just stick her stuff in a locker and hit the city if she wants... that could be cool
7:12 am
Trifioso
yes, tis. i wish she could leave the airport and see a bit of the city, but that is not allowed due to visa and security restrictions
7:12 am
lynxxx
perth is 4+ hours flight to Sydney
7:12 am
kje
really? that sucks
7:12 am
sprite
too bad :( But anyway, it is long enough to have a nap or have a quiet meal.
7:14 am
Trifioso
yes. I tried to get the flight through melbourne, as herin was kind enough to say she would entertain her for the time, but there was no way to connect that way -- or at least, one Icould afford!
7:14 am
sprite
I used the U !
7:15 am
sprite
hi bichon :)
7:15 am
Trifioso
good morning bichon
7:15 am
bichon
Daughter coming back Trif?
7:15 am
sprite
that is lady allover :) Sweet girl.
7:15 am
NonoNanette
hi Bichon
7:15 am
kje
maybe a day membership to the airline club for whatever airline she is flying? (like AA's admiral club)
7:15 am
bichon
That's a good idea kj
7:16 am
Trifioso
not allowed for those under 18 I already checked....though I do wonder if justin bieber, say, or the obama girls would find that true
7:17 am
kje
I did not know that - that sucks
7:17 am
sprite
no... they would be offered a free membership. Fame has its perks.
7:17 am
Trifioso
it's people watching, snacks, and window shopping for my middle one
7:17 am
kje
oh well, she will get to feel the real world traveler for a bit then... hanging out in airports all over, sleeping on the bench with her backpack under her head, eating crappy airport food.... all a slice of life
7:18 am
sprite
people watching is always fun. And reading. I could spend hours reading.
7:18 am
Trifioso
I could write a travel guide for teens with all I have learned through planning and executing this trip, believe me!
7:18 am
Trifioso
I could write a travel guide for teens with all I have learned through planning and executing this trip, believe me!
7:19 am
sprite
you could write two!
7:19 am
kje
that is not a bad idea... i know their are travel guides for women, or seniors, etc... why not teens
7:19 am
bichon
I didn't realize she was still in high school. Do they allow kids under 18 on the plane unaccompanied
7:19 am
sprite
chapter one: CALL YOUR MUM! At least once a day!
7:19 am
kje
most guides are aimed at the college age group/young adult
7:20 am
Trifioso
mostly because 99% of the parents in the US are now such over bearing helicopters they would never consider sending their kid across town, let alone across the planet! I could write ANOTHER book about all the sh** I have gotten from people who feel I am the worst mother on eart for letting her go
7:21 am
Trifioso
yes, they do bichon, but not with "unaccompanied minor" status - she just has to fly on her own, no special supervision or whatnot
7:21 am
sprite
not here, I hope, Trif. I think you did great. You have given her a real gift. Your trust, for one. And all the amazing things she learned from this. Beats 3 years at school.
7:22 am
kje
i hate that people think they can give you their opinion about stuff that is none of their business as soon as you are pregnant or have kids.... like the pregnant mom buying junk food and someone tells her taht is bad for her baby
7:22 am
Trifioso
thanks sprite.
7:22 am
Kaplan the Magne
Tri, don't get me started on that one. It's a big deal for kids to walk two naighborhood blocks on their own to visit a friend. Unbelievable.
7:22 am
Trifioso
I know kaplan. and how sad
7:22 am
kje
i want to walk up to some pot bellied man buying cheetos and say - you know how bad that is for you? never would happen, but everyone feels they can tell a mom how bad they are
7:22 am
sprite
ohhhh I am right with you, kje! Don't start me on that one. How about the people who think they can touch your tummy because you are pregnant?
7:23 am
Trifioso
besides, she went to go stay with FAMIL Y, not some bunch of strangers. I put it down to jealousy, I guess
7:23 am
Kaplan the Magne
Society of anxiety.
7:23 am
Trifioso
that is true, kaplan, but very hard to say out loud!
7:24 am
sprite
she will cherish this trip forever. You won't believe how much she will have matured, when you go pick her up!
7:24 am
bichon
Did she attend high school there?
7:24 am
kje
more kids should travel and get a world view... would change things a lot
7:24 am
Kaplan the Magne
You think there is any correlation between kids not being allowed to walk to school alone and the preponderance of opiate addictions once the kids have a teeny bit of freedom?
7:25 am
sprite
kje, I don't want to tell the pot-bellied man that either. I simply hate people judging the whole time and thinking they know what another should do or not do. They don't know shit. Let them walk in my shoes before they judge my path.
7:25 am
Trifioso
I do have a few worries on that score, sprite. I figure we will naturally be a bit strange with each other, the first couple of days...I am sure she has changed quite a lot
7:25 am
kje
you are a GREAT mom for letting her go, trif
7:25 am
Kaplan the Magne
Yes.
7:25 am
Trifioso
and, yes, she absolutely did go to school there, and she had a blast and got great grades and made a ton of new friends
7:26 am
sprite
some, probably, Kaplan. What we have here are kids that are always brought to school by car, then go to highschool on bikes for the very first time, and then have lots of accidents.
7:26 am
Trifioso
if you are even remotely interested, she did write a short blog: http://fionaelliott.blogspot.com.au/
7:26 am
sprite
don't worry, Trif. Just let it work itself out. You will meet her as she is now, and let her ramble, and things will work out just fine.
7:26 am
Trifioso
she is a horrible speller, so be warned!
7:27 am
72 Temple Owl
hello babblers
7:28 am
Trifioso
thanks sprite. I feel a bit of pressure on myself as well - like I should be going crazy getting stuff done today so she doesn't come home and look at me like, "what have you been doing for three months ?" I fear that is probably me projecting more than anything else, however
7:28 am
Trifioso
good morning temple owl!
7:28 am

oh I like that blog. Just read a bit. Very nice! She HAS learned a lot.

Al 5/12 I could easily finish the grid early, I am going to save my last word. Now here is a story. My Aunt An 4/4 and my Uncle Al4/4 introduced me to Babbleland a few years ago. When I first started babbling I took an oa4/5 to complete grids every single day. However, my pl 4/5 to finish every grid, did not happen.It was pl5/12 to see that with life and work, that would be impossible. Even though I am definitely no ma5/16 for some of the other Babble ma5/18s,I am so glad to be a part of the Babble ma 5/12 in the chat log. I mo 4/5 and groan at some of the jokes told,but I so appreciate the camaraderie with other players.Now that I have ho 4/6ed you with clues I am going to go eat some na 5/14s and watch the movie Dead Ca4/6.Husband is about to sna5/14 the computer away from me anyway. I hope that you have obta4/4ed more words with my story of clues. Ci 4/5 for now! BBL!

sounds so awful sue, when do you get a call from his/her parent?
2:42 pm
uusue2
he's filing a grade appeal, more power to him, I say
2:43 pm
crosshair
depends on how much the parent donates to the old pile of bricks yearly..hang tough suze!
2:43 pm
Glantarell
more fool him if you have evidence of his cheating
2:43 pm
uusue2
hopefully never, bichon, this has been going on since last November
2:43 pm
jmcnrick
haha "my son is in your graduate class and I want to talk about his grade. . . he is only 27 and needs extra consideration"
2:43 pm
bichon
what would that do? You're not going to back down [I hope]
2:43 pm

2:43 pm
Glantarell
Hi Flosey
2:44 pm

2:45 pm
bichon

2:45 pm
jmcnrick
i could use it too bich
2:45 pm
uusue2
but he already lost at the hearing where he contested the academic misconduct charge so I suspect he will lose this as well
2:45 pm

2:48 pm
Glantarell
i was just potching around
2:48 pm
uusue2
but the cheating was caught by a TA, who is also a student in the department, so they may not be too sympathetic

the Hunger \Games, what's that? people running after a sandwich...
4:06 pm
lbuxx
onyx - i really didn't like that movie.. in a way i think it was prob a good movie because it disturbed me but then i didn't like it cause it disturbed me.. lol
4:08 pm
mummy
yawn, oh only another movie...
4:08 pm
movieman
I'm seeing 'The Cabin in the Woods' on Monday
4:08 pm
onyx
Not as good as the book. A distopian world that was sadly abbreviated in the movie.
4:09 pm
doseffing
... Haven't read the book but I hope it's better than the movie ... the movie didn't really explain why the society was doing this and what the powers be were hoping or expecting to gain ... ... really didn't show why the kids were doing it .... i.e. motivations were bad ... of course they can cover that with twenty pages of explanation in the book ... but it isn't action so it gets left out of the movie
4:11 pm
onyx
True. The book explains the history and complexities of how the world got to be that way and that some of the tributes were trying to resist. A whole resistance movement was born from Katniss and her actions
4:11 pm
movieman
I'll DEFINITELY be seeing 'The Avengers' at the end of the month
4:12 pm
onyx
Oh yeah and the prequel for Alien.
4:12 pm
doseffing
... because you liked the comics? or because you like explosionx? ... must admit that I found Iron Man really disappointing
4:13 pm
onyx
Cause i read those comics when i was a kid
4:13 pm

And The Dark Knight Rises, and Skyfall, and The Hobbit, and the new Spider-Man film

... yeah ... it was a tough one today ... ... g'night
4:19 pm

Must have had to read the Books.
4:20 pm
MollyL
Don't get the appeal of the story, books or movie. Like Lbuxx said, disturbing. I don't read or go to the movies to get disturbed.
4:20 pm
bichon
It's a series of books meant for young adults in a dystopian future
4:21 pm
MollyL
I'm familiar with what it's about Bich. That is why I've had no desire to get into the story.
4:22 pm
bichon
Hubby and I read the books. I liked the first. The next one was repetitive and the third was okay. But, violent as they are, they have a lot to say.
4:22 pm
bichon
That's okay Molly, not everybody lkes the same things.
4:22 pm
onyx
well to each their own. I have seen a whole lot of kids get really excited about reading as a result of the books. mostly young teen boys who would not ordinarily read. Good against evil. Adventure. Sci fi.
4:22 pm
doseffing
... kids who read seem to like them because they're the heros who beat the bad grown ups
4:23 pm
onyx
I don't think that is their only appeal some of the grown ups are good. some of the kids are evil
4:24 pm
bichon
Katniss is a strong hero making a lot of ethical choices. That's why I enjoyed the book.
4:25 pm
MollyL
It's funny how when someone (me) expresses an opinion here that is not in sync with someone else, it always garners that "to each their own" comment. Hey, it's okay if you (anyone) likes these stories. And it's okay for me to say I don't get the appeal. That's conversation.
4:25 pm
onyx
The movie over simplified the nuances of the book. Katniss is the hero but Peeta and Cinna and Gael are too
4:27 pm
doseffing
... always the problem ... ... I've read LOTR 10 or 20 times ... but everything that I read the books for is not in the movie at all ... because it's not action or acdtionable ... ... didn't like those movies at all
4:27 pm
onyx
Molly, i did not mean any thing by the comment. Certainly not being critical
4:28 pm
onyx
Me either dose. In fact the lotr movies missed the whole point of the books
4:28 pm
lbuxx
molly.. i usually dont get "disturbed" by movies at all.. big horror movie fan. .but this one got me.. i think it was because kids were involved..
4:28 pm
doseffing
... I'm sure it's the same with the Hunger games
4:30 pm
onyx
I personally like to read things that "disturb" me gets me to think.
4:30 pm
bichon
liked the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo for the same reason, the strength of a woman character and it didn't have anything to do with sex.
4:31 pm
MollyL
I could not get through The Lord Of The Rings books at all. Way too much description. I loved the movies though.
4:31 pm
doseffing
... yeah ... but I walked out of Titanic because I didn't need to watch real people in a real situation die in terror over an extended time ... ...
4:31 pm
onyx
Couldn't watch the movies!
4:32 pm
bichon
LOTR, especially the poetry is real literature
4:33 pm
doseffing
... yes ... but the whole history and character and reason for being in LOTR had to be left out ... and that's what i read the books to enjoy
4:33 pm
MollyL
Titanic is like everyone's nightmare. Who wants to go see that on the big screen?
4:34 pm
lbuxx
down to 3.. can someone clue the to 5/10?
4:34 pm

I hope you-all had nice weeks and are now enjoying the beginning of a lovely weekend?

Hello stidmama!How are you doing?Welcome to the puzzle
9:01 pm
Minveryork
I taught ZERO days this week and LOVED it! How were your four days of teaching stidmama? It sounds like you liked it.
9:02 pm
Minveryork
Hello rbud! How are you doing? I am glad my story helped.
9:02 pm
stidmama
oooh. CA 7 tree!!!
9:03 pm
stidmama
they were mostly good, Wednesday was very challenging. The kids in those classes by and large were not accustomed to doing actual work when substitutes were in the room, and so there were a few issues, but mostly minor ones. :-) I am getting WAY better at avoiding, averting and adapting to disasters!
9:03 pm
jesdraggon
mmm. chocotaco
9:03 pm
stidmama
YESSSSS!!! NBT already!
9:04 pm
Minveryork
How dare you,a sub, who actually expects kids to do work!
9:04 pm
DR1965
Hi Stid and rbud
9:04 pm
rbud
do kids still do things to subs like we used to - "pssst, at exactly 2:15 let's all drop our pencils at once!!" lol!
9:04 pm
stidmama
rofl Min! a MEAN sub, so unreasonable...
9:04 pm
wht
Stid, if you can do well as a sub, it should be easier when you have your own class.
9:05 pm
stidmama
they try, rbud. I wait, and then if I have to wait too long explain that if they waste my time during instruction I will waste the time they are given to get to the next class... *wicked teacher look* it usually works, even when I am bluffing!
9:06 pm
Minveryork
Sometimes I have to cover classes for teachers who do not get subs and they treat me like I'm a sub and I'm a regular teacher whom they see every single day in the building.
9:07 pm
stidmama
yep. I don't let the kids get very far with that one. I tell them that I am a REAL teacher who is taking time this year to be available for my family... which is true. And that eases some of their anxiety over the day not being what they anticipated.
9:08 pm
stidmama
thanks wht -- that is the other reason I chose to sub. I knew my basic classroom management needed work (it wasn't really addressed in my teacher program other than as theory), so figured my best bet was to get in there and see how lots of other teachers set their kids up for success. At least, that's the plan. Occasionally I am taking notes on how I will NEVER run my classroom...
9:09 pm
jesdraggon
I don't think i ever did mean things to a sub... now, my regular teachers, they either loved or despised me...
9:09 pm
rbud
a friend of mine who subbed for years said she used to tell the kids she was "powermad" and would make their lives miserable if they didn't cooperate, haha!
9:09 pm
jesdraggon
but it wasn't intentional. i'm just, er, difficult? sometimes.
9:10 pm
Minveryork
I once had a kid tell me that ESL isn't a REAL class so he doesn't have to go.I told him that if he skips my class he will have REAL consequences which he then soon found out when he tried to skip the class. Don't mess with me!
9:11 pm
stidmama
Funny thing is, jes -- I have basically enjoyed ALL the kids I have worked with, even when I wasn't able to meet all their needs. It's frustrating, but usually it's not the kid's fault, right? I don't understand when teachers give kids the impression they aren't "good" -- although to be honest by the time the kids reach the upper grades so often they have internalized (from home or school or someone else) that "bad kid" persona that they really do make things very difficult on purpose. Which, my dear jes, I am sure you never did.
9:11 pm
stidmama
OH!!!! JESS!!!!!!
do you want to hear my hummingbird rescue story?
9:13 pm
jesdraggon
heh. no, i was difficult on teachers for non-standard reasons. like requesting to take 2 independent study courses from the same teacher during his "free" period. Poor guy ended up teaching 3 different classes to a group of about a dozen of us.
9:14 pm
stidmama
oh.... *giggle* you were more driven as a student than I was. I just took the basic A/B grade and floated on through.
9:15 pm
jesdraggon
and we were all nuts. he walked into class one day, and there were 2 people standing on desks making bird calls, one walking backwards around the room pulling a little wooden ducky on wheels while someone else tried to steal it, and 2 people playing ... crap. forget the name. the "game" where you stab a knife into the table between your fingers as fast as you can? playing that with a barbie leg (no idea where the rest of the barbie was), and the rest of us playing hangman at the blackboard...
9:15 pm
stidmama
oh. only just found the word that the Dutch call "gracht"
9:16 pm
jesdraggon
i like hummingbirds :)
9:16 pm
stidmama
*gasp*
*heavy sigh*
(whispered) oh dear...
9:16 pm
Minveryork
I have to say that I was a goodie two shoes in school. I had perfect attendance in high school until senior year. Then I had my first absence when I took a day to go visit a college
9:16 pm
rbud
I want to hear about the hummingbird, stid!!
all ears --> )o(
9:17 pm
jesdraggon
I almost failed to graduate...
9:17 pm
stidmama
okay, so yesterday was lovely and I did NOT work. So in the afternoon I opened the back door so Lucky could come in and out. HE went for walkabout by himself (I should have seen that coming, but didn't) and the hummingbird decided to visit the budgies.
9:17 pm
Minveryork
My high school had this thing called "Senior Skip Day" when all of the seniors would skip a day of school. Do you think I did it,nope! Needless to say, I was not part of the "in"crowd
9:17 pm
jesdraggon
because I didn't have enough fine arts credits. Too busy taking science classes. ended up finagling them into accepting wood-shop as a fine arts class.
9:17 pm
wht
I was mostly good in school except for my Senior year civics class where I know more about the subject than the teacher.
9:17 pm
stidmama
But the budgies are in the middle of the main living space, and the kitchen is so much brighter... with the skylight (which doesn't open) and all.
9:18 pm
stidmama
so the little critter got all confused and tried to fly out the skylight. And didn't know to go DOWN and out the door.
9:18 pm
stidmama
I had to find the old pool skimmer (down by the shed, not sure where we got it, we never had a pool!) and the dustmop.
9:19 pm
stidmama
Put the dustmop up to trap the hummer so it had to stop and rest on it (by this time the little guy was really tired anyway, and kept panting).
9:19 pm
Minveryork
I don't know, maybe it's just me being from New England, but what is a budgie stidmama?
9:19 pm
stidmama
Then I had to hold the pool skimmer over it to block it from thinking it could fly up and back to the skylight. Took about six tries.
9:19 pm
jesdraggon
parakeet, minver
9:20 pm
Minveryork
Oh, ok
9:20 pm

I am very glad that I was able to get it outside again, it looked quite bedraggled by the time I was done.

You did a good deed saving that hummingbird! Because of you, that hummingbird is probably with its family again.
9:21 pm
wht
Stid, I always liked the teachers who expected a lot from their students.
9:22 pm
wht
I had this odd belief that learning was fun.
9:22 pm
rbud
very dexterous of you, stid, to manage the two long handles! good job!
9:23 pm
jesdraggon
good job stid :)
9:23 pm
stidmama
thanks, wht! I do expect a lot, and I find that MOST of the kids, even the ones who struggle, like to have someone tell them they are capable of the next step. And then step in to support as needed.
9:23 pm
jesdraggon
and now, i must away to remove the porcupine quills from the mastiff. ta!
9:23 pm
stidmama
oh no jes! spring, of course! see you later. ((hugs))
9:23 pm
rbud
I was bad, the outstanding highest scoring student, and constantly bored, so I had my own permanent hall pass and key to the counselor's office, to help keep me out of trouble.
9:24 pm
jesdraggon
oh, before i go-- you should (if you haven't heard it already) look up how to turn your classroom into a roleplaying game :)
9:24 pm
rbud
oh, poor mastiff! no fun to be a pincushion! good luck with that, jes!
9:24 pm
stidmama
hm... will go do that now jes! :-D
9:25 pm
Minveryork
Learning was a lot f fun when I was little, but now it seems like education has turned into test prep and nothing else.
9:25 pm
stidmama
some kids need that, rbud -- I try to get those kids to engage in other ways whenever possible. But it's a tricky balancing act, keeping all the kids challenged in their own ways in these really crowded classrooms.
9:26 pm
stidmama
okay, Lucky needs his mama. back later *poof*
9:26 pm
rbud
I never actually graduated high school, went to college on an early entry program. have a dbl BS, but no high school diploma. hard to explain on job aps.
9:26 pm
rbud
later, stid, jes
9:28 pm
Minveryork
Next week, thestudents in New York take the state ELA tests and the week after that they take the Math exams Then 4th and 8th graders have to take the science tests and all the ESL students have to take the state ESL test.
9:28 pm
Minveryork
Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log
9:28 pm
wht
rbud, when our son was in 5'th grade, we were having one of our continuing arguments with him about doing his homework, and he said to us, "but when I'm in college, no one will care what my grades were in 5'th grade."
9:29 pm
wht
That stopped the argument. We knew he was right, but he wasn't supposed to have figured that out yet.
9:29 pm
Minveryork
And how did you respond to that wht? Your son was correct
9:30 pm
wht
It stopped us cold at the time, but it didn't stop the fights over homework.
9:32 pm
wht
It was only later that we learned that he had executive function problems that made doing homework really hard for him. We were still thinking that if he just applied himself a little, he would do really well.
9:32 pm
rbud
I was soooo bored in school, would yak away and distract other kids, but could still quote back verbatim whatever the teacher had said... they hated me.
9:33 pm
wht
It was a real challenge. He is very smart but he also has learning disabilities. It is a surprisingly tough combination to deal with.
9:34 pm
rbud
oh, I hear that. our son is genius level IQ but spent years in alternative schools, for pretty much what I used to get away with back in the day. he never wanted to do homework, wouldn't bring it home. couldn't concentrate, bored easily.
9:35 pm
wht
I was never social enough to distract other kids, rbud. I would do things like do my assingned reading during lectures, and things like that.
9:35 pm
rbud
constantly "taking others off task" - I got so tired of seeing that on the notes he'd bring home...
9:35 pm
wht
At least he brought them home, rbud.
9:35 pm
rbud
well, at least you were being productive!
9:35 pm
Minveryork
I never knew why I had to take Probability. To this day I do not use it that much except to try amd figure out what the probability of me finishing a a babble grid on a given day
9:36 pm
rbud
lol, Min! :)
9:36 pm
wht
Yea rbud. I usually had my homework done by the time I got home from school. And I never had study halls.
9:38 pm
rbud
they wouldn't let my hubby graduate high school, though he had plenty of credits - he got a full time job in senior year and skipped the last half of the day for the whole year - now they have programs allowing kids to do just that.
9:39 pm
rbud
he'd have been the valedictorian if they'd let him graduate, sigh...
9:39 pm
rbud
so eventually, in his 30's, he took and passed the GED test in only one try to get the paper.
9:40 pm
Minveryork
Homework was never an issue for me.It was just part of my daily routine. Come home and eat a snack and start homework,then have dinner and finish homework after dinner and then bed. Was only allowed to watch the TV once a week for an hour so that wasn't even part of the daily routine.Maybe that is why I am addictef to TV now
9:40 pm
rbud
everyone else (127 of them) he was in the GED class with had to take classes, he tested out.
9:42 pm
Minveryork
Not that I am really addicted TV, but I do have it on all the time as background noise if I am not actually watching it.
9:42 pm
rbud
I liked homework, actually, used to do it up fancy when I could, loved graphic design type things, maps, drawings, diaramas...
9:42 pm
Minveryork
Believe it or not, I do not watch any shows that are on now
9:43 pm
rbud
there's not much worth watching, I don't think.
9:43 pm
wht
I loved research papers. I loved looking stuff up.
9:44 pm
rbud
oh, me, too - used to do other people's papers in college for money, lol!
9:44 pm
MollyL
<---Thinks Wht was Teacher's Pet
9:44 pm
Minveryork
I always had trouble with homework. My parents had to help me every night.Was very fortunate enough to have parents who cared and supported my education.I see so many parents today who do not care about education.
9:44 pm
rbud
now I'm a librarian, maybe it was all that happy time spent in libraries back then...
9:46 pm
wht
I never tried to make nice to the teachers. I just wanted to learn.
9:46 pm
MollyL
Min, sadly, that is true. Parents seem to take very little interest in their kids education these days.
9:47 pm
wht
But there was one time in high school physics where we had a test that I had completely spaced out on. I walked into class and the teacher started passing out the tests, and I had no clue there was a test that day.
9:47 pm
rbud
oh, dear, wht, how'd you do?
9:48 pm
Minveryork
Unfortunately, library program suffered budget cuts.We do have a full time librarian.Only certain grades get library as a prep. We used to have a great librarian in our school.
9:48 pm
wht
I totally tanked the test. There was another boy in the class who was all excited because he had gotten a better grade than I had for the first time. Then the teacher said that he thought that maybe the test was too hard, and when he saw that I had done poorly, he decided that he wouldn't count the grades.
9:49 pm
wht
My friend was really angry about that. He beat me and it didn't count.
9:49 pm
MollyL
The teacher decided the test was too hard because you didn't do well on it?
9:49 pm
Minveryork
Art and music programs have also suffered fro budget cuts.
9:51 pm
wht
I wasn't honorable enough to admit what had happened. I just accepted that on that day the universe was smiling on me.
9:51 pm
MollyL
Wow, I've never heard anything like that before. A teacher gauging the severity of a test on one student.
9:51 pm
wht
Well, he was thinking that he had made the test too hard before he started grading it.
9:51 pm
rbud
they used to throw out my grades all the time to make the bell curve work, the kids hated me for that - and that was in college! :P
9:52 pm
Minveryork
I stayed up for the flip last night for cosdem. Not sure if I'll make it tonite.My brain is starting to fade very quickly now
9:52 pm
MollyL
Wow, I'm not smart enough for this group.
9:53 pm
Minveryork
Me neither MollyL!
9:53 pm
rbud
well, that was also after I took 5 years off to party and came back much older, wiser and more motivated
9:54 pm
wht
Well that was when I was smart. Then I had kids and they taught me that I wasn't as smart as I thought.
9:54 pm
Minveryork
It was hard growing up not being the "smart" one in the family.My two sisters were the smart ones in the family.
9:55 pm
wht
Altough apparently, now that they are in their twenties, I have started knowing something again. :^)
9:55 pm
Minveryork
My 2 sisters were able to get good grades without studying
9:56 pm
rbud
<--- still waiting for our kids to discover I'm not as think as they dumb I am, lol
9:57 pm
Minveryork
Had to have tutors all through high school and college and I still struggled trying to get just okay grades. Barely made it through high school and college, but I did fortunately.
9:58 pm
Minveryork
LOL rbud!
9:59 pm
wht
Min, that is one of the reasons I would make a lousy teacher, I never had to work at learning, so I never had to think about how to do it.
9:59 pm
wht
I can't understand why people don't get things that seem obvious to me.
10:00 pm
wht
If I had to work at it, I would have a better understanding of how to help other people get it.
10:04 pm
Minveryork
I grew up in a family of intellectuals, however, that was not me. Even now, when I go home, i don't understand half of the things they talk about. So I just sit there and say nothing. They are so in tuned with everything in the world&then there's me who does not read a newspaper.
10:04 pm
wht
Well time for me to go. Happy Babbling all. And none of this will be on the test!
10:04 pm
Minveryork
Goodnight wht! I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe
10:11 pm
rbud
oh, wandered off for a minute, had to rescue a table I had painted white from Hubby's shop, where he was beginning a black spray painting job, could have a speckled table! :P
10:12 pm
rbud
wouldn't want that!
10:15 pm
Minveryork
It must be the day for babblers save things today. First, stidmama saves a hiummingbird, then you save a table.
10:16 pm
rbud
especially since it took me almost 2 years (off and on) of stripping, rebuilding, sanding, gluing, and painting to get it looking this good, lol! :D
10:17 pm
jmcnrick
omg what a great game! Nats Nats Nats!
10:17 pm
Minveryork
You also just saved your husband's life by saving your table
10:17 pm
rbud
yup! (Nats?)
10:17 pm
Minveryork
Hello jmcnrick! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle
10:18 pm
jmcnrick
Nationals just won in the 13th inning on Friday the 13th
10:18 pm
jmcnrick
rbud your kids will figure out you are not dumb sometime in their 20s
10:19 pm
rbud
cool, jmc, figured it was a sports thing - but both kids are already in their 20's, hope it doesn't take much longer, lol!
10:20 pm
jmcnrick
about 24 for my boy
10:20 pm
jmcnrick
with occasional relapses
10:20 pm
Minveryork
I don't know, my hubby is in his fourties and still claims he knows EVERYTHING!
10:20 pm
jmcnrick
nbt finally
10:21 pm
rbud
ha, ours is 2 months from turning 21, he's at the height of his know-it-allness. :P
10:21 pm
jmcnrick
haha that is because you are his wife that doesn't count!
10:21 pm
jmcnrick
well there you go. . . something about making your own way after college is usually the turning point
10:21 pm
rbud
I finally had to list with 38 left, brain is drained.
10:21 pm
rbud
now I'm getting somewhere, lol!
10:22 pm
jmcnrick
go rbud go
10:22 pm
jmcnrick
i think nbt was enough for me
10:23 pm
jmcnrick
just psyched from the game and needed a small bite of the grid to finish the day
10:23 pm
rbud
th 4 and 5, would never have noticed them without the list, sigh... will never be able to come close to dart and volley and the like, just don't have the babblet brain.
10:24 pm
Minveryork
Me neither rbud, as I duly noted in my story of clues today.
10:25 pm
jmcnrick
i think they monkey faster than some as well as knowing prodigious amounts of words
10:26 pm
rbud
<--- not a good monkier, either. :(
10:26 pm
jmcnrick
me either i always lose track except for 4 letter words
10:27 pm
rbud
I just plod along, happy to make halfway most days. but I like to find the big ones before I give up.
10:28 pm
Minveryork
That is about the extent of my babbling skills also, 4 letter words. Then if I am luck I can get some 5 letter words also.
10:28 pm
Minveryork
*lucky
10:28 pm
jmcnrick
i can get longer ones but not from monkeying them
10:29 pm
Minveryork
ALWAYS resort to the list after I have found half the words.
10:29 pm
jmcnrick
there have been a couple of smaller non-mean grids i got without a list but none without a clue!
10:30 pm
Minveryork
I will NEVER be a babbler who is able to babble sans lists.
10:30 pm
rbud
ac7/36, strange one. like booze, al*o*** (but leave out the first L and O) and end with two vowels
10:31 pm
rbud
or similar to the end of melan******, a state of depression and sadness
10:31 pm
jmcnrick
ty rbud that makes nbs for me
10:32 pm
rbud
that may have been one of the hardest 7's, though the ji7 is odd, too, some sort of spanish turnip.
10:32 pm
rbud
oops, that's a ji6, not 7
10:32 pm
jmcnrick
ji6? i eat that all the time. . . mexican and more like a radish
10:33 pm
jmcnrick
cut it up in strips for a nice crunch to your salad
10:33 pm
rbud
there is vi 6 AND vi 7, never heard of them before
10:33 pm
rbud
hmmm, so I keep reading in the chog, may have to try it, I like that sort of thing.
10:33 pm
jmcnrick
i have a va6
10:34 pm
jmcnrick
suv+not lady
10:34 pm
jmcnrick
very refreshing with a little little bite not as much as a decent radish
10:35 pm
jmcnrick
okie I am done for the night with 66 left
10:35 pm
rbud
vi 6 = vi* and vigor, and the last 3 of the mi4 bird
10:35 pm
jmcnrick
off to read about zones of peace in war zones
10:35 pm
jmcnrick
bye all
10:35 pm
rbud
sounds interesting, later! :)
10:42 pm
rbud
wahhhh, so many weird words! :P
10:42 pm
LeslieAnn
indeed, i thought, oh 119, sure, no problem...
10:44 pm
rbud
it's like Babble saved up a bunch of odd ones to throw at this one little grid
10:44 pm
Minveryork
Goodbye jmcnrick! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log.

10:49 pm
m9f9l
LOL.. I know
10:49 pm
LeslieAnn
heehee, sounds like an emotional grid for you rbud
10:50 pm
rbud

10:53 pm
gemini_J13
I have 2 5s, have tried every combination except 1!!!! an 5/12 and av 5/16
10:53 pm
rbud
but hey, can stick L on the end of lots of seemingly normal words, who knew?
10:54 pm
LeslieAnn
av - bird
10:55 pm
rbud

10:55 pm
m9f9l

Hey, yall. Any of our nurses/doctors around? I have a question about Blepharitis.

10:56 pm

11:00 pm

it hurts, and looks bad. Been cleaning with Q-tips, but so far no improvement, of course i started this afternoon. It first crept up last night.
11:00 pm

Sunlight on it feels FABULOUS!
11:01 pm

11:12 pm
dcseain
let me tweak that...
11:12 pm
cybernan
turn the photo in a photo editor, save it and upload again
11:13 pm
dcseain
Thing is, it's upright on computer, flickr, facebook, google, so it's a babble thing
11:13 pm
dcseain
but i'll turn it for Babble.
11:13 pm
rbud
oh, I'll get done, thanks anyway, enjoying the slow pace. only 12 left now.
11:13 pm
dcseain
i loved how the color shone with it longer.
11:14 pm
Minveryork
Congratuations LeslieAnn on your fireworks! Good for you!
11:14 pm
rbud
true, it does look more all the same color shorter, you had some highlights with it long.
11:15 pm
JenMO16
this puzzle looks ugly
11:15 pm
rbud
made me think of Hubby, his used to be really long, he laughed about how he could meet girls by "tossing it back onto them" at bars, lol
11:15 pm
cybernan
it is jen -- don't even start with only 45 minutes left
11:16 pm
Minveryork
Congratulations m9f9l on your fireworks! Hooray for you!!
11:16 pm
JenMO16

11:17 pm

11:17 pm
Minveryork
